Homewood Welcomes New Morgan Stanley Headquarters
Homewood is buzzing with excitement as construction has officially begun on a new 30,000-square-foot office building headquarters for Morgan Stanley. The site, located at 740 Shades Creek Parkway, was broken ground by the Birmingham-based commercial real estate firm The FiveStone Group and is set for completion next year.
The new office is being built on a one-acre lot right next to Shades Valley Lutheran Church, making it easily accessible for local residents and visitors alike. The construction will be managed by Hoar Construction, who will be overseeing the project from start to finish.
Investing in the Community
David Silverstein, President of the FiveStone Group, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership with Morgan Stanley and Hoar Construction. “We are thrilled to partner with Morgan Stanley and Hoar Construction on this project,” he said. “This development not only underscores our commitment to delivering top-tier office spaces but also reflects a strong investment in the local economy.”
Silverstein also highlighted the new building’s prime location in midtown Homewood, noting that it will provide excellent accessibility via a fully signalized intersection at Shades Creek Parkway. This is expected to enhance convenience for employees and clients alike.
Sign of Growth for Morgan Stanley
John Terry, the Alabama Market Executive for Morgan Stanley, shared his excitement regarding the new headquarters. “This new modern space will accommodate our organic growth,” Terry said. He pointed out that over the past five years, Morgan Stanley has experienced an impressive 53% growth in assets. The new office will serve as a significant step in reinforcing the company’s footprint in the local market.
